God Would Have Done No Wrong The hardest truth for man to face is not that God is love, but that God is just. We are quick to praise Him when blessings flow, yet hesitant to confess that even if He took everything from us, He would remain righteous. That is because deep down, we still believe He owes us something. But He owes us nothing. Not life, not comfort, not breath. Every heartbeat is borrowed mercy. Every sunrise is undeserved grace. If God were to strip us of all we have and still remain silent, He would have done no wrong. The only reason we struggle with that thought is because we have forgotten who we are and who He is. The problem is not that God is unjust, but that we are blind to how sinful we truly are. Scripture says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Every sin, no matter how small it seems to us, is cosmic treason against the infinite holiness of God. To rebel against infinite holiness demands an infinite consequence. Hell is not cruelty; it is justice. If God were to condemn every soul on earth, He would still be good. The wonder of the gospel is not that some are condemned, but that any are saved at all. Salvation is not God doing what is fair; it is God doing what is merciful. Fairness would damn us all. Grace saves the undeserving. We measure fairness by comparison - thinking ourselves better than murderers, thieves, or the corrupt. But God compares us not with others, BUT WITH HIMSELF. HIS STANDARD IS PERFECTION, AND PERFECTION IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). When we see that, we stop asking why God allows suffering and start asking why He allows us to live at all. Job understood this. After losing everything, he did not accuse God of injustice but fell to the ground and said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). True faith does not rest on comfort but on conviction that God is right in all He does. If God were to take our health, our families, our homes, and our very lives, He would still remain good. We do not determine His goodness by how much He gives but by who He is. The cross of Christ stands as the only proof we will ever need that God is not only just but merciful. The One who owed us nothing gave us everything. Grace is not owed. It is given. And once a man understands that, he stops demanding explanations and starts offering worship. The question is no longer “Why me?” but “Why was I shown mercy at all?” We deserve wrath but receive forgiveness. We deserve silence but are given His Word. We deserve death but are granted life. Everything else is grace stacked upon grace. If God took everything and gave us nothing but Himself, we would still have more than we ever deserved.
